Résumé
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Preventable chronic disease is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States and around the world. Training in wellness and disease prevention is provided to varying degrees in medical education leading to low levels of counseling on prevention-related topics in clinical care. Colleges of osteopathic medicine are in a unique position to lead the way in training future physicians in community health and prevention topics. Integrating community health and wellness throughout the curriculum allows osteopathic medical students to learn the scientific basis for prevention recommendations and learn to apply them to future patient care. We are incorporating these topics across the first two years of medical school in a new college of osteopathic medicine in the USA. This will address local disparities and train physicians prepared to care for patients at the individual and population health levels.
